Why 1 Degree
Most remodels go wrong in the gaps: between designer and builder, estimate and contract, what was said on site and what was written down. As a licensed general contractor in Los Angeles working design-build, we close those gaps with a scope you can measure, a proposal with every assumption in writing, and a project manager who stays until the last detail is done.

Planning a new home? Walk through concept renderings in our Design Studio Now building
Ground-up homes, whole-home remodels and additions across Los Angeles, under one contract.
Custom homes and Palisades rebuilds, from design, engineering and permits through construction and final walkthrough.
A remodel of the whole house: reworked floor plans, kitchens, baths and systems, managed with one schedule and one budget.
Second stories, room additions and accessory dwelling units, with structure and permits handled.
Layout, cabinetry, stone and ventilation planned together, often with the walls around the kitchen opened up.
Full gut remodels with waterproofing done right: tile, stone, fixtures and glass, with design and permits.
Five steps, the same on every project. Nothing gets built until it has been confirmed in writing.
We walk your property and talk through goals, timeline and investment. Measurements and open questions are documented.
Design, engineering and Title 24 are coordinated with your budget in view, so the plan is priced as it develops.
Base scope, options, allowances and exclusions, priced line by line. We confirm every item with you before anything is signed.
We submit the plans, answer plan-check corrections and keep you updated. Agency fees are listed separately.
A dedicated project manager runs the job, handles changes in writing before work proceeds, and walks the finished home with you.
Deposit: California law limits a home improvement down payment to $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. We follow that rule on every contract.
From our clients on Google
“From the original estimate to the final completion of work David was always happy to communicate and explain what they were doing…”
Bobby W. · Kitchen remodel
“1 Degree proposed a brilliant alternative by extending the second floor and remodeling the rest of the house. I couldn’t be happier with this solution, especially considering the budget I had available.”
Kelly H. · Second-story addition
“Thai, the project manager, was instrumental in making the entire process smooth and efficient. The team’s workmanship was top-notch, and they completed the remodel within the agreed-upon timeframe.”
Lindsay G. · Bathroom remodel

New custom homes and Palisades rebuilds, whole-home remodels, and additions including ADUs, plus kitchen and bathroom remodels, usually as part of a design-build contract. Most of our work is on the Westside, from Santa Monica and Brentwood to Mid-City; as a general contractor in Los Angeles we also take select projects in the Valley.
Yes. Design, engineering, Title 24 and permit processing can be included in your scope. Government and agency fees are listed separately in your proposal.
It depends on the scope, permits and material selections. During planning we provide a detailed schedule, and a dedicated project manager keeps every phase on track.
Every project starts with a walk through your property: what you want to change, what the house allows, and what the city will require. As a design-build general contractor in Los Angeles, we bring design, engineering and permits into that first conversation.
